Local band releases new CD Stick With the Classifieds.
It you're shopping for something special, keep looking
in the Classifieds. Every week, you'll find a great selection of
listings for everything from apartments for rent to
things to buy and see.
By Elyse DeBruyn

With such a wide range of various
vocal and instrumental talent
emerging in the musical world, it's
nice to hear such talent coming from
a local band.
Perish has released its second
album entitled Music as Therapy
filled with 10 well-written and
produced new tracks.
The three-man band consists of two
Brussels natives Joshua Gropp and
Rob McKercher as well as Thomas
Ireland of Teeswater.
Each with a unique and exceptional
talent, the three have certainly
improved since their high school
performances and even then their
musical ability was hard to miss.
Gropp's talent on the guitar is sure
to send him somewhere (and it
doesn't hurt that he can sing too.)
Ireland's bass helps make the
music that much more outstanding
and McKercher brings it together
with his talenton the drums as well as
helping to produce it alongside
Nelson McCrussen of Sound on
Sound studio.
Together, they have created
something to brag about.
Did you miss taking a winter
holiday? Or would you like to recall
some of your favourite vacation
memories?
The Blyth Festival Singers invite
all to join the choir on A Musical
Travelogue. The concert will be held
on Sunday, April 4, 2:30 p.m. at
Exeter United Church.
The event will also feature special
guests, the Bayfield Winds, under
the direction of Hugh McGregor.
This is • an awarding-winning
ensemble featuring 25 accomplished
musicians committed to presenting
music at a high level of
performance.

The first song. Your Best Friend is
Your Worst Enemy 2, starts the CD
off with a fast-paced beat, giving
the audience a taste of
what Perish is
about.
The
lyrics of this
song reflect how
friends can so easily betray you,
leaving enemies as the friend.
As the song gets faster it reflects
the intensifying anger with friends
who betray.
I relate (as most people can) to the
part of eye for an eye. When a friend
betrays you, all you want to do is hurt
them as much as you hurt, but would
and/or could never do something that
mean to a friend even in a fit of anger.
The tune blew me away with the
Blyth Festival Singers, has prepared
a program that highlights music
from around the world, from the
dramatic Prince Igor to the uplifting
music of South Africa. From the
sweet sounds of an Indonesian
lullaby to the lively harmonies of a
Gypsy dance. There will be toe-
tapping Canadian folksongs, a
majestic choral classic from
Germany and a romantic Caribbean
love song.
The Blyth Festival Singers are
accompanied by Sharon Johnston of
Goderich, an accomplished pianist
and teacher.
Tickets for the concert are $12 for
adults, $6 for children 11 and under.

instrumental talent. It is similar to
song six. Main Event, but with
different lyrics.
Throughout the rest of the CD, the
tracks are similar in the aspect of fast-
finger guitar playing and drums, but
the last song sent me for a loop.
Track 10, Let Go, seems like a
different band altogether, after
hearing the first nine tracks.
It is slower track with only
Gropp's guitar for musical back-up,
but that is all it needs.
The powerful lyrics imply the
time has come to move on and let
go of the past. Blame of past
conflicts is controversial
between the two people referred to in
the song as emotional games get
played back and forth. Letting go of
memories is the way to let go of. what
used to be.
Almost everyone can relate to this
song, as most people find it difficult
to move on in life after an emotional
ordeal and finally realize that nothing
lasts forever.
After hearing this song along with
the other up-beat, yet personal songs
that only punk bands can portray, the
second album is sure to please.
